Chapter 6 Maintenance and Service

6.1 Power Supply Module
6.1.1 Replacing the Fuse

The VM-75B & VM-75 power supply module uses a fuse with the limited service life.
The service life of the fuse is generally described as 5 to 6 years when continuously used at 70 to 80% of the
rated value. However, it is recommended to replace the fuse every 3 years for safety allowance considering the
following conditions:

 Due to a continuous current flow, increase in the surface temperature coincides with increase in the
temperature caused by the peripheral parts releasing heat. As a result, oxidation reaction is stimulated,
deteriorating the fuse. In addition, a chemical reaction is facilitated under a gas atmosphere, deteriorating the
fuse.
 Due to in-rush current or surge current of the line generated by power activation/shutdown during
maintenance or adjustment task, the fuse deteriorates gradually.
 Deterioration of the fuse is accelerated due to vibration or impact.
